Development of Taxonomic Organization of Named and Pictured Categories.
Tversky, Barbara
Developmental Psychology, v21 n6 p1111-19 Nov 1985
Demonstrates young children's shift toward a taxonomic basis for organization of both named and depicted objects. Concludes that perceptual organization in young children cannot be attributed to an inability to ignore visual information but seems to be based upon the centrality of perceptual features to the representation of objects.
